Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the object worship of the state. It will prescribe for every one where they are to work, what they are to work at, where they may go and what they may say. Socialism is an attack on the right to breathe freely.

And the third by the question: "Where should we have lunch?" The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
